The Upheavals in Mexico.

Ell PAso, Tex, May lO.-The de-
tails of the awful result of the recent
earthquake in the State Of Sonora
are coming in slowly. Lieut.. Brit
tain Davis brings startling news of
the convulsion southwest of Carol
ties. The mines are located ITO
miles southwest of FL Paso, but the
greatest destruction occurred 200
miles southwest of here. Lieut.. Brit
tain said:--
"As far as / could lean, the entire
Carrolites district and the couLtry for
200 miles southwest of it were in
constant convulsion for three days.
at the first shock myself and several
other Americans and Englishmen
sought places of safety on plateaus,
but the shocks were so rapid and
powerful that we expected every mo-
ment to be killed. An active volcano
developed ten miles from US, and
when / left it was pouring forth a
stream of hot water az thick as a
mans body. This column of water
was thrown thirty feet in the air and
is impregnated with sulphur and lava.
Stones as big as mans head are
forced up with it. Smoke and fumes
of sulphur make it difficult to breathe
in the vicinity. At Ojo Don Pedro,
a town in the vicinity, twenty people
were killed and nearly every building
destroyed. At Cosa Owanda, south
east of there, forty families were de-
stroyed The Mexcans are panic
stricken and have given up all ordn-
ary pursuits. There are a number of
out-Lfthe- mining towns in the
vicinity that | fear are totally de.
stroyed. The Mexicans are making
no attempt to gather the details and
the American miners are the only
persons who are trying to get at the
facts. From reports coming in it ap-
pears that the entire southwestern
part of Sonora has been subjected to
the severest shocks. Geysers and vol
canos are reported in all parts of the
stricken territory"

High License Bill.

What is termed the Brooks High
License bill is still receiving much at
tention in the Legislature, and it is
amusing to notice the conflicting
movements and opinions in regard to
it. The people generally seem to
take but little interest in it, as in any
shape license has become odious to
them. The general sentiment is that
it is but a compromise with evil at
best, and that it would be better to
let things remain as they are until
prohibition comes to be voted upon.
We have heretofore expressed cur
own opinion to this effect Still, 1t
may be that real and honest high IL
cense might be some reform in the
meantime. While higher license
would give monopoly in whiskey
selling and have the effect of reducing
the number of saloons, yet it is very
doubtful if that would make reform.
Some claim it would, others that 1t
would not. Good temperance men
and even Prohibitionists are divided
in opinion upon it, and, as we say,
the general public look on with rather
indifference, as seeing no permanent
relief whether it is high or low
license. The bill has passed finally.

That Fishing Party.

FRANKLIN TWP, May 9, 1887.
. I promised to send you q report Of
the party that had been making great
preparations, and anxiously waiting
the daY set, TO go on that Grand Fish
ing Excursion to the beautiful valley
of the Muddycreek, SO | will give
you short sketch of the same:
On the morning of the 7th day of
May-the time set for this grand
event-we gathered our rods and
tackles together and gave them a
thorough examination before starting
The ladies busted themselves ia pack
ing baskets with cakes, roasted
chickens and many other articles suit
able for the occasion. We were soon
ON the road and by 10 O'Clock we
were in sight of the fertile valley OF
the Muddycreek, where we could
trace it for miles as it winds its course
west to the Slipperyrock. We pitch,
ed our camp handy to where the Red
Bank r. r. Co, located their depot
on Robert Aliens farm, and after
some fixing of lines, were ready to
commence catching those large cat
fish. suckers and unfsh with which
this creek is said to abound. We
found the water rather too high, not
from the amount of fish in the stream
but on account of the heavy rains that
fell the night before. After dangling
our lines for a short time in the
muddy deep, Molie English had the
satisfaction of landing the first fish, |
think they called it a "chub." Your
correspondent caught the next one
and it did not measure more than Is
inches. Myrtle Wigle caught q large
sun-f5b, something similar to a bass
but they don't grow SO long and are
said to be as fine in favor as the BAGS.
Sadie English surprised US by haul
ing out one of those large catfish and
as it squirmed around it was too
funny to see them getting it off the
hook, there being plenty Of barbs on
it to jag ones hands. | wish you had
been along to have got some of the
fish and enjoyed the fun with us
Matte English said the fish bad some
spite at her for they did not bother
her hook. Tizzie said if they were
good looking boys she would have
been more successful. We caught
some fine fish and had jolly time
and concluded to go again when the
water would be lower. So | will
thank Mira. Kate English for her
roasted chicken, the girls for their
company and cakes, the editors for
space in the CITIZEN, aud wishing
you all success | will close.

w onderful Surgery.

The success of a wonderful surgi-
cal operation, performed in this city
nearly o year ago, has just been
demonstrated Seventeen years ago
Edward K. Russell met with an acci-
dent il which the tendons in one Of
his legs were severed, rendering the
limb useless. The operation consist
ed of the transferring of two tendons
from dog, which had been etherized
for the purpose, to Russell's limb,
where they were united with the sew
cred tendons in that member
For ten months after the operation
Russell was not allowed to use his
leg, but within a few days he has
been permitted to exercise it. He
has now resumed his work, and has
complete control of his limb, the oper-
alton having proved to be an entire
success. This is the first time that
this operation has been performed in
this country, though it has been pre-
viously attempted with only partial
success New Bedford correspond

The English Sparrow.

The forthcoming report Of the de-
partment of agriculture on the Eng
lish sparrow will be very interesting
document. 1t will contain about 400
printed pages in which will appear
the experiences of about 5000 people
with this destructive little rascal. It
is doubtful if there is another bird in
the world so unanimously condemned
as q nuisance as this alien. DR.. Mer-
rian, the ornithologist of the depart
II ent, who has charge of the prepara-
ton of the report, says that the in
dictment against the sparrow is ter
rible one. He has scarcely friend
in the whole country. In California
he is hated as cordially as the Chi
nese; but while it is admitted that
the Mongolian may be made useful
citizen, there is not even a monopolis-
tic employer Of coolie labor who can
see the slightest use in the sparrow.
He is accused of doing frightful dam
age to the vineyards of the Pacific
slope. He always selects the most
lucious punches of grapes, and he in
variably sticks his bill into the very
best berries on the bunch. Farmers
who devote their time to the cultiva-
ton Of grain, report that the sparrows,
wherever they are thick, do frightful
damage to cereals. Market gardeners
and the raisers of small fruits, in the
vicinity of cities, say that since the
sparrows began to multiply the profits
of market gardening have almost vau-
ished. The only known use for the
pest is as substitute for reed birds.
One man in Albany, N. Y, reports
that he sells hundreds Of dozens of
sparrows every month to the restaur-
ants in that city where they are serv-
ed up to the New York legislators as
the toothsome little thief of the south
western rice fields. Sparrows make
excellent table birds and it is thought
that the only eifectual method of cur
failing their increase will be to induce
the boys to catch them for food pur-
poses.

Two murders and a suicide, all
the direct effect Of iDtemperance is
startling record for Saturday night
and Sunday in Allegheny county.
Fortunately the facts in one of these,
that of the blacksmith Oswald, of Un-
derclif, who strangled his little
daughter and cut his own throat after
two days's debauch, are easily as
certainabie; but the other, that of the
young ironworker McClernon, found
on the sidewalk at Soho with his
skull crushed in, is likely TO go into
the already too extendedilist of unsolv-
ed murder mysteries. 1t is reasona-
bly, certain that had there been no
violation of the law against selling
liquor on Sunday, this last tragedy
would not have occurred; and the
man who sold the whisky must have
solid conscience if he feels that he
is in TO degree responsible as an &C.
cessory to the murder. For the
credit Of the city and county,a well as
for themselves, we hope the detectives
may sncceed in unrayeling this last
murder and bring the man who COM
mitted it to trial.-Pittsburg ChrGn-

unusual excitement among the stud
ents and citizens Of Prospect, the oc-
casion being tie celebration OF the
Principal of the Normal Academy,
Prof. F. W. Magee's 30th birthday.
The Professor was enticed to the
Academy under the pretense OF at
tending to some literary business.
Upon reaching the door be was ush-
cred to the rostrum, " hen Mr.. q. /.
Wilson stepped forward and in behalf
Of The students presented the Prot

in which the Prof'5 estimable wife
was seated, in few well chosen re-
marks in which be spoke teelingly OF
the regard in which she is held by
the students, presented her with a
magnificent hanging lamp. To which
presentations the Prof responded
very feelingly if not in eloquent Ian
guage, as he was very much over
come by bis feelings.
The remainder of the evening was
spent in literary exercises interspers-
ed with music by the Prospect Band,
led by Prof. Edmundson, assisted by
Miss Mary Martin, pianist; and also
with remarks by Hon. j. NJ. Leigh
